you should first consider the two important
elements: the audience and the goal.

your communication.

different approaches in order to get them to the
desired goals.
8. WHAT IS EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION?
The purpose of the communication is to get the
audience to the desired goal, where the goal can mean
to inform, persuade, explain, or to get the audience to
take action.

or anything you want to achieve.
But for scientific communication, this is generally not
the case.
If you manage to bring your audience to the desired
goal, you can call that communication successful.

Imagine you are a climatologist trying to communicate your
research results to two different audiences:
(1) your peer scientists, and (2) policy makers.
In the first case, your goal is to present your research to scientists
who very well understand the science behind what you did. You
want to inform and convince them with your supporting data.
In the case of policy makers, you want to persuade them to take
certain action which will protect the environment. They have only
vague knowledge on the science behind what you did and are more
interested in the implications of what you discovered.
11. EXAMPLE: TWO AUDIENCES, TWO GOALS
Should the communication in both cases be the
same? Absolutely not.
You will never be able to achieve both goals if you
use the same method of communication.
It is even more likely that you’ll fail in both cases.
This is why it is crucial to understand who exactly
your audience is and what your goals are before
you start preparing your communication.
Your communication will be successful if your
audience reaches the goal you wanted.

reaches the goal intuitively, effortlessly.
This means that when they are absorbing
your communication, they don’t have to
think about the method you are using, but
only about the message.
